[No budget] Best wired/wireless(chargeable) mouse with absolutely no side buttons or extra gimmicks?
Posted by capitalismwillkill@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 23 comments
I've been gaming my entire life, I also do quite a bit of programming, coding, and music on my pc. I don't like side buttons, I don't like accidentally clicking random shit while just trying to work or chill on a game.
I simply need a mouse with a right and left click and a good scroll wheel. I always buy those shitty Logitech mice but they die in a year or so(Mostly due to scroll wheel going out) and I have to download a third party program to disable the shitty side buttons.
I prefer wireless but want it to be optional plugged in(and usable during) to charge.
So my requirements are: Wired/wireless rechargeable. Simple with no gimmicks, no program required to use and durable enough to last. I'll gladly drop $500+ on this.
In all these threads that are similar people force op to justify wanting a simple mouse. Just accept that I don't please.

So the basilisk v3 has side buttons but by default they are not set to anything and you can leave them that way. It has a fly scroll wheel that's toggleable and the added benefit of left and right scrolling and it's fairly affordable if you buy the wired version.

Ah I'm not the biggest fan of razer they're like the king of gimmicks and I had one for a while and just didn't find it was the best quality. But this was like 10+ years ago now

Check out the Logitech g502 hero wireless then. It feels better and it does have extra buttons but they can all be turned off. It's great quality and if I remember correctly they got rid of the weights in it but if that's something you like the older g502 models have weights you can add. Personally I love the side scroll option and fly wheel option. For example I'll set the side scroll buttons to key bonds for games that make me put my hand in an awkward position to hit a button i only use sometimes. Additionally if you do any kind of web browsing or work that has you in pages that scroll left and right you don't need to click and drag, just tilt the scroll wheel. The way I see it, you can have the options and not use them unless they become convenient. If you absolutely don't want anything like that at all because you are particular or whatever your reason Logitech does have some high quality mice that are just plain old L&R click with a scroll.

I don’t understand why there’s so much love for the g502. I had one and it’s just too much. Too many weird buttons and so heavy

Well if you're trying to buy a Honda Civic no ones going to be able to explain to you why a fully loaded high performance car is a great option. You just like what you like.

It just feels like people google “gaming mouse”, see that one, and never try anything else.
Content-Connoisseur@reddit
I guess that's possible, personally I tried quite a few different mice back in the day before finding the 502 and for me it was the fly wheel and left and right scroll click that I fell in love with. You can't really find it in anything else so that's what keeps me hooked, currently I have a basilisk v3 because it's cheaper and I don't game as much as I used to so I went with the cheaper option.

Yeah idk. I guess I’m just fell in love with the ambidextrous shape of the logi g pro / razer viper lines. They tend to be where the newest innovations come to as well since they’re the shape most pros in different games use.

The logitech g pro has removable side buttons. I think its rgb by default though and you have to turn it off in the software.

How to Deactivate the Side Buttons on Your X2A eS Mouse If you're looking to deactivate the side buttons on your X2A eS mouse, there are two simple methods you can use:
Using the Side Button Cover:
The X2A eS comes with a side button cover that can be attached over the buttons. This cover will physically block the buttons from being pressed while still allowing you to use the mouse as normal.
Disabling via Mouse Settings:
Another way to deactivate the side buttons is by using the polling rate button. To do this, press and hold the polling rate button, then click on the side button you want to deactivate.

Zaunkoenig M3K Absurdly expensive but within your $500 budget. Wired, 2 buttons and only 24 grams.

Damn I'm palm grip all the way I have giant fucking hands fingertip requires I bend my fingers back like a skyrim hagraven, do they got more this is currently out of stock😫
ItsToxsec@reddit
i have fairly large hands and can only fingertip grip because my fingers go over the end of the mouse click buttons when i palm grip - are you sure you're fingertip gripping correctly?
capitalismwillkill@reddit (OP)
Imagine salad fingers palm gripping a mouse he'd have to push his whole finger down to press the button or curl it around. Or not palm grip and the mouse is farther forward
ItsToxsec@reddit
yeah, fingertip is when the heel of the mouse doesnt come in contact with your palm regularly, its how i need to use a mouse if i dont want to claw grip it, otherwise at least the whole first knuckle of my fingers are over the edge of the left/right click buttons, similar to the fingertip grip shown in this post

Ah yeah I see I'm pretty lazy and it always feels uncomfortable to not also just rest my whole palm on a mouse I think the Corsair scimitar is what I was using in my competitive StarCraft days but the side buttons for playing deep rock and just coding is annoying and I hate having to always deal with random programs shitting the bed and side buttons are uncomfortable if I grip the mouse too long
ItsToxsec@reddit
i got palm skates that hook on my hands for this, its a game changer (very expensive though)

Don't buy plastic mouse then, you didn't mention weight being a issue so you could literally commission a cast iron shell and it will outlast you easy. But the best options would be the magnesium/ titanium/ carbon mices that some specialised brands offer. I don't have a specific reference but there are videos out there ranking the best current offers.

There's very few, my advice would be to buy a cheap Chinese gaming mouse - they are very high quality these days, higher than Logitech. Rapoo. Mchose, AJAZZ etc. Most of them allow you to remap the side buttons to something innocuous, but they can all be opened trivially and then you can remove or cut the buttons.
You could also get a Logitech G Pro Wireless which has removable side buttons, pricey but it's an older model so you might be able to find a used one cheap.
